"I think it all depends on the game. … Who are we trying to beat? And then you look at all three phases. How do we match up personnel wise? And okay, we don't match up so well here, but we do match up here. Where are our advantages and disadvantages? Then you put together a plan accordingly. I don't think you put together an offensive plan independent of your defensive plan independent of your special teams.

"So, we may throw the ball 60 times next week. I do not have an aversion to it. My thing is, what do we need to do to win?"

The Giants pose some interesting challenges. Their DLine is one of the best in the league, their WR corps is up their as well and Eli Manning seems to have hit his stride. They are the reigning Superbowl champions for a reason.

Bucs nation is flying high after this week's win against the Panthers. The defense played fantastic, and in the first half the offense looked like a well oiled machine. The second half was a completely different story as we went into 'keep-away mode". We will need to put more points on the board if we want to come out of New York with a victory._________________

This game will be a real test and reality check for this team. Carolina had some hype, some good players, but the Giants are the big boys of the NFL. If we can play with them, we can play with anyone._________________

This is what it is all about. Giants have a ton of talent on their team and great coaching. I think not having Joseph might hurt us this game. Giants front 7 can really get after the qb. Free needs to be on point for this one. Are they going to go 0-2 at home to start the season... I hope so.

I think our offense can put up points on their defense. The true test is going to be for our defense. Talib, Wright, Barber, and Barron are really going to get tested this week trying to contain Nicks, Cruz, and Bennett._________________Adopt-a-BucJameis Winston3180 YDs 23 TDs 12 INTs

Very excited to see our team against a top flight opponent. Hope the D can contain the Gmen offense. I like our O against that defense as they can be thrown on._________________Adopt a Bucc-

Again this week stopping the run will be big. I want to see our guys flying to the ball like last week. VJax or 19 should be able to have a pretty good day against the Giants secondary. Hopefully we open up the passing part of the playbook more this week.

Coach Greg Schiano said he isn't sure exactly what happened to LeGarrette Blount on Sunday.
Blount briefly went down with an apparent leg injury during the second quarter Sunday and never returned. Schiano emphasized that Blount could have gone back in the game. "I don't know if we're all certain on what's ailing LeGarrette," he said. "He came out of the game and we thought it was his leg. We're not sure. ... I think he's okay." Blount likely has a bruised ego as a result of meager playing time.

One thing I hate like I said last week is they had an extra 3 days to prepare for us so their guys will be a little more rested, plus we have to travel to their house..

This game will really be a test just to see how good we are...

When I watched them play Cowboys, I noticed they didn't really get anything going until mid way through the 3rd quarter...so their offense is not unstoppable.

Call me crazy but their D does not scare me. Romo went for over 300 on them and Marray over 100 and I dont think Cowboys have a better o-line than us. Ya they have a great pass rush with their front 4 but to me everyone else is average..

One thing that concerns me is we have to stretch the field. We cannot dink and dunk and expect to win. We have to throw the ball beyond 10 yards. If we dink and dunk all day they wont drop anybody back and it will be a lot easier to stop our run as well as short passes.

Per rotoworkd.com

Could we have seen the last of Blount?

Haha I read that earlier and thought the same thing... he will be trade.

Apparently on Sunday after the game he left the locker room before reporters were allowed in._________________Adopt-a-BucJameis Winston3180 YDs 23 TDs 12 INTs

I know its only been 1 week of action, but my honest opinion is that the Giants looked average/good and we looked good/dominant. Maybe the Cowboys are just that good this year, but I just dont get the feeling that the Giants are this unbeatable force that we have to play a perfect game to even have a chance at beating them.

- The Giants DL will be a big factor in this game. We have to give Freeman protection so that he is comfortable in the pocket and Martin lanes to run the ball.

- The Giants are the 1st team we face this year with some seriously good WRs/firepower. Talib, Wright, Barber and Barron will have their work cut out for them. But I trust they can keep it under control.

- Something that will help the DBs. The Giants run game looked anemic against the Cowboys. They are playing the current best run D in the NFL this week. If we keep playing well in run D against a struggling running game, we could make their O 1 dimensional.

- Once again, our WRs have a good matchup on their CBs. We need to keep passing well and our WRs should be able to make a play. This could be vital to us winning this game. Gotta protect Freeman first though.

- Lastly, we have the Giants former QB/WR coach as our OC and their former DC/LB coach as our DC. There are some secrets about the Giants being spread around One Buc that should help, even if just a little, on Sunday._________________

Should be another good game. I think our D will hold up but I am not sure how we will do offensively. Giants stopped the Cowboys run for the majority of the game. Its their secondary that did not hold up. With that said, you can't expect big plays when your QB has less than 3 seconds to get a pass off. Our right side spells trouble. We'll need to keep an extra blocker in and we need Trueblood and Larsen to play their game of their life otherwise it'll be hard to score points.

Actually Mike Sullivan was just the QB coach,Sean Ryan was the WR coach._________________

Very true. I'd imagine that would help us a ton on defense, but if Sully uses anywhere near the same terminology they used in NY, they'll be able to pick up some things about our offense, as well._________________
